As the title says. I gave my girlfriend my sgs4g a few months ago. Put stock rooted firmware on it. A few days ago the phone will only charge if I pull the battery put it back in then plug in charger ac or usb on computer. I have tried different batteries one from my vibrant, sgs2. Switched kernals also just to see if it would help but it didnt.

Try making a hardware reset :
Pull battery off, wait 10 minutes, press power button for 15 seconds, then wait another 15 minutes, now put battery back on and power on.

I'll try this when I get home

did you try to pull battery? I had that problem once, pulling battery out and put it back in solved it for me.

Try pulling the battery out, and leave it out for about 5-10 minutes and then put it back and try to turn it on again and see if that works.

I pulled the battery for about 10 minutes and it worked.

Yes.. Sounds like a defect. Take the battery out and place it back in then let it charge for a couple of minutes.

The last two days when my battery is getting down to 15 percent my phone is dying. After I plug it in to charge and power it up, it showing its at 1 percent. Any ideas what may be causing this?
Current phone: galaxy S3
Current ROM: Beans 14
Tweaked out with ktoonsez
Now I've been on charge for about two and a half hours and its only charged to 15 percent... I think my battery is shot

I've been getting weird stuff with mine also. You on 4.1.2 correct? It's not your battery, try another charger, reboot, replug it in, etc. I'm going back to 4.1.1. Getting lockups to that I didn't have on 4.1.1
Yea im on 4.1.2.
Very strange... I just pulled my battery and restarted after putting it back in and now its showing I have 73 percent. It showed 20 percent when I pulled

I got on a plane heading from New Orleans to San Francisco via Las Vegas. I turned my phone off just before boarding and didn't turn it on again until I landed in San Francisco. My battery was nearly fully charged as It had only been off the charger for about an hour and I wasn't using it. When I turned it on in San Francisco 7 hours later, it was nearly dead, with only 20% charge. I definitely saw the power off animation. It was definitely off when I took it out of my pocket, but the battery use told me the screen had used up most of the charge. What the hell happened? Has this happened to anyone else?
As a precaution, on the return flight I pulled the battery after powering down. I did not have any battery drain on the flight home after the battery pull.
Maybe the shutdown animation took a very long time and kept the screen on.
I have never heard of this, so I have no idea.
I've had this happen to me a few times. I power off my (fully charged) Charge at night before going up to bed and when I come back down in the morning and power up (and it goes through the power up cycle) I find I have limited battery left. I haven't tried to track down what is happening since I simply replace the battery with a fully charged one and continue on with my day.
I found that I had some file on my SD Card was draining my battery.

I don't suppose you remember which file that would have been.
So when the Charge is powered off it really isn't powered off?

It is truly off when powered down.

I think it's just a glitch of the battery meter. Either it was lying to you when it was full or lying when it was 20%. If it doesn't happen on a regular basis then the battery should be fine, right?
I think we've all had it happen (at least to me a few times) where I switch out batteries that I know have been charged and the phone says that it's dead. The solution I found was to take the battery out and try to power it on, then put it back in or put in the fresh one. I don't know why, but it seems to get rid of some sort of bad juju.

Actually when my phone glitches out and reboots sometimes it shows the battery level more than 50% below what it used to be when it died. A glitch in the kernel that reports the battery level could be the culprit.

Hi all
I will be getting my nexus 5 tomorrow and was just curious if there are ant does and donts with regards to charging the battery. The reason i ask is i currently have a HTC sensation and after 18 months the battery had to be replaced as it was simply not holding its charge. My routine was to charge it overnight every night and use it during the day.
Does charging it through the night cause damage? im just a little bit more concerned as i will not be able to replace the battery with it being sealed.
Thanks for any tips
Chris
Hi,
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511647...
I used to do the same thing with my HTC Incredible... I learned that it can damage the battery over time by not allowing it to hold a charge. Now, when I get home (depending on remaining %) I charge my phone, and unplug it during the night.
If for some reason the battery dramatically drains overnight, I'll charge it when I'm getting ready to leave in the AM.
That is just my method, but I have had great results with it for my usage.
Plug it in...

I have had this phone since it was announced. I plug it in every night when I go to bed and leave it plugged in till I wake up. My battery is fine. I have done the same with my note 2 also. Never had any problems

Same here
It's not hard to pop the back cover off and replace the battery when it goes bad. I just dont worry about it and charge whenever and take it off the charger whenever.
